Janet and Marv were gracious hosts and the studio was cozy. We lucked out and saw a moose and her baby crossing the River the first night and a harbor seal swimming around the second night. Convenient location and great views.
Jan and Marv are excellent hosts. They had a cute sign waiting for us when we drove up and the experience got better from there. The fishing poles were a nice touch. The view is absolutely stunning. So nice to sit and have coffee and look at the Kenai river going by. Thanks so much for a great stay.
The Hosts were super! Friendly, helpful, warm. We just loved them and the place was awfully cozy and comfortable. We would have loved to stay longer. The BEST!
We enjoyed our stay. The property was as described, clean and check in was easy. Janet was in contact with us all the way through and they even had fishing poles for us to use. We would stay here again for sure.
Great communication. Jan was always available by phone and text willing to help. Bank fishing was good, not great; plenty of rods, nets, chairs, cleaning table,etc. long walk of 50 stairs down to the river. Two large chest freezers.
Studio appt was clean and adequate, well supplied. Bathroom was very small. .
Beautiful location on the banks of the lower Kenai River. Checkin was easy and Janet and Marv are excellent hosts. Property is a private full suite with kitchen within a larger building. Everything one would need for a Basecamp to explore the Kenai and Kasilof River basins.
the room was small but clean and exactly as pictured in the listing. Everything we needed was provided and the owners who are on the premises gave us our privacy but are very friendly
We loved staying here. We were able to catch our salmon limit every day right from their special spot. You donât even need to get in the water to fish! The location was great and close to the grocery store and fishing store. I was able to message questions and get a quick response!
Janet helped us with an itinerary and made sure we were prepared for our entire trip. We couldnât have asked for a better host! Great place to stay! Highly recommended! Clean cute studio decorated for the fishermanâs dream trip!
Sitting watching the Kenai river flow past, listening to the birds and the quiet of the morning in this very clean, comfortable place is good for the soul. Well kept, amazing views of the river, and everything you could need. I would stay here again.
Everything from making reservation to checking out was perfect. Accommodation was clean, comfortable and right on the river. Janet made everything so easy. Would definitely recommend!
We loved this place. The location was awesome. Close to town but seemed to be secluded. Good spots for fishing but unfortunately, no fish for us. In-between runs. Very nice place and amenities. Great communication with owner. We want to come back for sure.
The location is perfect for getting around the area, yet itâs still quiet. The bed is super comfy and the views are beautiful! The owners were always quick to respond to any questions and overall we enjoyed our stay.
I wish we were able to stay more then one night. The lodging has all the amenities you would need. The rooms were very clean and organized. We sat by the river on the property and watched the moose drink from the river on the opposite bank. It was perfection.
My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights while in Alaska to do some Salmon fishing.
We were so happy with our choice to stay here from the start. Janet could not have been more welcoming, helpful and delightful. When she found out we were going on a fishing charter and the weather was going to be bad, she hunted down rain gear and warmer clothes for us immediately. We were so happy to have such a wonderful host. And boy was I glad for the warmer clothes to borrow!
The location itself is gorgeous. You can see the Kenai River from inside the studio and the view is great. The kitchen has everything you need. My husband and I were able to enjoy our first trout ever that I grilled on the propane grill we had right outside our door. The studio was warm and comfortable. Perfect for one or a couple.
We loved our time at the Kenai River Retreat. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. If youâre visiting Soldotna, donât hestitate to stay here, youâll really enjoy it.
Marv and Janet we're very helpful and nice !!! The studio was Perfect. My husband and I bought food and ate in the studio for breakfast and lunch, and they had all the things we needed to cook. We will DEFINITELY be back so we can enjoy all the fishing equipment they had to offer to enjoy a fishing get away. Highly highly recommend.
We have had the awesome privilege of living in Soldotna for over 35 years. After raising 4 wonderful children and retiring from the fire department as a paramedic/engineer, we are loving this season in our lives ....... Enjoying our grandchildren, fishing, golfing and traveling. We also enjoy helping our guests plan their Alaskan vacations!
Soldotna is a perfect location for your Alaskan adventure! Whether your desire is to fish or hike or kayak or go birding, we are at the center of it all! Just a 3 hour drive from the Anchorage Airport, Homer is 70 miles down the road, Seward is 90 miles and only 1 mile from downtown Soldotna to your door!
Standing on your deck, there is not another building in sight. Just the bird filled trees, the beautiful Kenai River with all of it 's abundant fish, and the tops of the mountains towards Anchorage. Great hiking trails right outside your door or take advantage of the paved bike path that goes right into Soldotna. It is common to see eagles & moose along with other wildlife.
